A ripping yarn

[gnommi]

Or should that be some yarn ripping?

Anyway, as a change from printmaking, I've finally taught myself to crochet, in an effort to fulfil the other half's request that I make him the cutesy Cthulhu from this book, which el_maraca bought for me last year.



So far I've managed what appears to be a Pacman ghost, a pig on wheels and a stack of octopodes. The wee octopodes are an absolute joy to make, thanks to this pattern.

I shall probably post progressive iterations of octopus on my pinterest, but watch this space. Anyone who would like one: specify preferred colour and I'll see what I can do. Prising them out of the hobbit's hairy paws is proving difficult at the moment, however!

Awww! I totally want an Octopus. Particularly liking the big guy at the bottom of the pile.

He is mine! (Or possibly his identical twin?)

Thankyou Gnommi!

As with all surprise new additions to a family, this means now I have to think of a name.

They're adorable and they're staring into my soul.

They rule! I... can I have one? Maybe in a colour that is... surprise?
